hey! i have 6 days from now to revise for f4, (i hope that will be enough for me) need study tips and how to cover the whole syllabus in few days. am using bpp only.
December 2, 2013 at 5:32 pm #149249Hi
The best advice I can give you is (1) to start 2 months ago.
Next, if you’re using BPP only, why are you contacting OpenTuition – (2) surely you should be asking BPP
Next, from the kindness of my heart, I suggest (3) you read the printed solutions from a revision kit / exam kit.
(4) And then read them again
(5) And then re-read them
(6) return to step 3
And keep doing that for the whole of October and November
How can you possibly, without any sign of shame or regret, admit that you’re about to enter for one of the toughest exams that you have ever faced and that you are just now thinking about starting your revision?
Was it as surprise last week maybe when your boss at work said “Oh, by the way Sonya, you’re doing a law exam next week. Maybe you should think about doing some preparation for it”
At this late stage, Sonya, put your heart and soul into reading over and over and over again the printed solutions from a revision kit and, when you’re in that exam room, keep your fingers, legs and toes crossed!
December 5, 2013 at 4:43 pm #150704haha good one Mike. People like Sonya think BPP does some “magical stunt’ such that whatever is in that book will come in the exam. Past papers are most important Sonya not your stupid study text which you need 4 months to read!
December 5, 2013 at 8:28 pm #150853Gabriel – when I see that it isn’t my name at the end of a thread, I have to open it to see if it’s a student asking a question that I need to answer. I would therefore appreciate very much if you wouldn’t join in with other students’ questions on the “Ask the tutor” page. Please, feel very, very free to join in the general forums or the chat room, but “Ask the tutor” has a clue within the title which should give you a bit of guidance!
🙂
February 18, 2014 at 2:44 pm #159267reading answers from kitt or boo which should be preferred please reply I as fail in my last dc 203 attempt please give me tips
February 18, 2014 at 3:26 pm #159282‘kitt’, ‘boo’, ‘dc’ and ‘203’???
The revision kit is mainly (approximately 90+%) a collection of past exam questions. The questions in a study text are not necessarily past exam questions.
If I were given the choice of ONLY one OR the other, I would go for the revision kit every time.
I would however pay attention to Mike Little on this site when he says ‘do not be put off by the excessive length and depth of the printed solutions’
There is no way that even the best prepared student (judge?) could attempt to write answers of that intensity and detail for 10 questions in just 3 hours’ writing time (+ 15 minutes’ planning time)
